Items are made of Terra-cotta, and paint used is acrylic paint.
Terra-cotta:
- It is made of a composition of clay and sand and baked with earthen colour, a brownish red.
- Terra-cotta is one of the oldest crafts that human beings ever introduced on this planet.
- Terra-cotta pots, flower vases and table lamps etc. are made from baked clay.
- The porous nature of this earth-based medium allows air and water to pass through the walls of the pot. This promotes healthy plants by staving off root rot and disease caused by overwatering.
Colour:
The colour used in all these crafts is Acrylic paint by hand. Acrylic paint is fast-drying paint made of pigment suspended in acrylic polymer emulsion and plasticisers, silicone oils, defoamers, stabilizers or metal soaps. Most of the acrylic paints are water-based but become water -resistant when dry.
